I'm so happy to see...

I’m so happy to see that Merlin finally decided to do another podcast. Let’s see how long he will keep with the Fresh starts thing. Hey Merlin (et al) have you seen my post about GTD and the New Year on the 43Folders Board? http://board.43folders.com/viewtopic.php?id=87

I’m guessing this isn’t exactly the ideal forum for this, but I’d love to hear a bit about the technical specs of your podcasting setup: what mic are you using? what software? any other cool bells and/or whistles?

I’m trying to get into the regrettable podcasting phenomenon as well, and I’d love some guidance.

Private e-mail is fine, and probably preferable, now that I think about it…
